"Good morning Mark! I have a package for you early today. Seems pretty important," the mailman addressed Mark as he handed him a fairly small package.
"Thanks, Todd! But why did you say that it is important?" Mark asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Oh. The package had text lined on the outer cover of the box. See?" Todd turned the package over to display the line 'The Universal Remote: The Most Powerful Remote You Will Ever Own!'
"Sounds like gibberish to me, but I guess there's a reason why someone would write that on the box, you know? Although there's no return address so you might have to be careful about it."
"Sure..." Mark slowly replied. Of course, Mark looked just as confused as Todd.
Todd waved bye and headed off as Mark took the package along with him into his trailer office.
Mark was a manager for a construction project recently assigned to him by his company. According to his initial briefing, the project consists of a building encasing a signal tower of some sort. While he was given the specifications needed, he didn't know much about the purpose of such a project. Certainly very odd, Mark chose to probe further because he was taught not to question his limit. His mantra had always been to build the necessary structure in the most efficient manner, no questions asked.
Dropping off his belongings on his desk, Mark took a glance at the package. "Most Powerful Remote, eh? Probably a prank, but I guess it won't hurt to open it." As Mark headed out of his trailer for a morning check around the construction site, he opened the box to discover what looks to be a TV remote and an instruction manual, probably too thick for explaining a TV remote. "Well well," Mark started to examine the remote as he tossed the leftover box in a garbage container.
